What Kind of Party is This??

We had a Super Bowl party this evening. What a fun game!! Especially the last minute. Our house was excited that the Giants won...however, I think it would have also been just as exciting to see the Patriots go undefeated. But I'm happy with the outcome.

My husband is a HUGE football fan. He has been playing fantasy football for years...he actually won this year. But he spent almost half of the game in our room playing GUITAR HERO! Who is this man??

At one point, right about half time, I looked around the living room and there were 4 of us watching the game. Four out of twenty-one. The other 17 were in our room playing Guitar Hero.

Crazy.

Floor Score and Seven Years Ago

David got a bug in his britches yesterday and decided he was going to finish our floor in our bedroom. So he started working on it today. Here is the timeline (this is fairly accurate):

March/April 2004~~We decide to bite the bullet and buy hard wood for our 3 bedrooms and our living room. This is because a baby is on the way in October of 2004. The mountains of wood take up home in our garage.

May 2004~~David begins taking out the carpet and laying down the floor in what was our office (and is currently Reagan's room).

May 2004~~We buy butt loads of tile for our entry way, bathrooms, kitchen, and utility room. It is stacked up in our garage. A car moves out. Making this a "No Car Garage".

July 2004~~Kelly goes to DC. David rips out/demolishes our entry way tile. Rips out the carpet in our guest bedroom-soon to be nursery.

August/September 2004~~The office and nursery and shared bath are all re-floored (is that a word?). We have new tile in our entry way, but with no grout.

October 2004~~Reagan joins us.

May 2005~~(notice the leap in dates) Reagan shows signs of crawling so David takes out the carpet and lays down wood in our living room in about 5 days. He takes off from work for this project.

June 2005~~Being on a roll, David begins our bedroom floor. He makes it about 1/2 way across our very large bedroom. Still no grout in the entry way.

February 2007 (yes, I'm serious about the date)~~David wants to finish our bedroom because we are going to Costa Rica, and my parents are staying with Reagan in our bedroom. He completes it with 4 feet left (by 11 or so feet). Still no grout.

February 2, 2008 (yep.)~~We are having a Super Bowl party so David wants to complete our floor in our bedroom in case some people want to play Wii in our room. He prepped the floor and put down about 1.5 across (again, by 11ft).

February 2, 2008 in the pm~~David is playing Guitar Hero.

He worked really hard today. And since the hard part of prepping the floor is complete, it won't take long to finish the last 3 feet of the room. Then we can focus on ripping out our vinyl floor in our kitchen area, tile it, and grout it with the entry way. Oh, and our bathroom, too.

And then maybe our cars can move back into the garage.

Becky was right!!! In Wayne's World they are doing a scene pretending they are in different places. Like Hawaii and such. And then a screen pops up behind them being Delaware. And Wayne says in a very blah voice, "I'm in Delaware." Becky knows her movies!!

We're in Delaware

I'm sitting here staring at the computer screen trying to think of something to write about. Here are my options:

• David is completely addicted to Guitar Hero. His parents came over tonight, and he thought he'd show them what it is and how it works. I was thinking to myself, "He'll find any excuse to put on that guitar." But you know what? My father-in-law was interested in it!! He actually put the guitar on himself and tried a song. I thought that I should video tape that for the blog...but I don't know if he'd appreciate that. David is currently jamming away on level Medium. Rock on, Dude!
• I am extremely upset with a family member. I'm hurt, and I'm just tired of the drama that is always around. Part of me just wants to distance myself from the drama. But that isn't the grown-up responsible thing to do. So I have to deal with the drama. (I'm sure I used to cause quite a bit of drama, too.)
• We're throwing a Super Bowl party...on Sunday...during the Super Bowl. (just in case you didn't know when) I'm excited. But I am so worried at how Reagan is going to deal with the situation of having 20 people in his house. And he'll be short a nap that day since the party starts at 4:30. I am hoping that I don't have to Tivo the game due to Reagan making me miss it--and the commercials!

UPDATE: Drama over...for now. I talked to this family member, and we're good.

See? Those are my lame options. You'd think that I don't have an exciting life. Oh wait. You'd be right. Maybe something fun and exciting will happen tomorrow while I'm cleaning the house from ceiling to floor. But don't count on it.

Here's a fun game!! Let me know if you know why my post title is what it is or where it is from! (David, you can't play.)

I've Been Lost...

...without Lost. And I'm so excited that it is back on tonight. I have it Tivo'd right now, and I'm really looking forward to watching it after Reagan goes to bed.

I did not Tivo last night's episode since it was last season's finale. But then I talked to my sister today, and she said it was like Pop Up Video and had tons of tidbit information through out the show. So~~I watched it online today. This is the first time that I have watched an entire show on the computer, and I was impressed.

Now I don't have to be bummed if a storm messes up our satellite. I can always watch the show on my laptop. I will never be Lost again.

Not My Blog

I'm taking this idea from Becky. This is not my post, but I am posting it. So this does fulfill my Blog365 requirements.

I was turned onto this website from my super friend, Tina...she has it listed in her blog roll. I was immediately hooked the very first time I visited the website. I think the pictures are amazing. I love the titles and captions she gives to each picture. And I thoroughly enjoy reading her posts.

Here is just one of her Daily Chuck's...

You should go and visit Dooce's website. Her pictures are wonderful, and I look forward everyday to seeing what she decided share with the world.

Sleeping with Slash

I mentioned that we got Guitar Hero III on Saturday. This is David's new favorite game. I am horrible at it. I can't even imagine being able to complete one song~~I am that bad. David assures me that he was just as bad when he first started playing (we got the game for my little brother for Christmas, and David played a few times with him). Um, yeah. I don't think my two hands will ever be able to do two totally different things while my eyes are trying to read those two different things on the tv screen.

Last night we did our (late) nightly Wii ritual. David is working. My lame replacements of tv shows (due to writers strike) have all been watched off of Tivo, so I do the Fitness Test on Wii Sports. This gets David up off of the sofa for a little work break so he can do his Fitness Test. Most of the time this leads into a tennis game for him. This all happens at about 1am.

Well, tennis has been replaced with Guitar Hero. At THREE am, after having watched David rock out to three songs~~one of which was Barracuda and is now stuck in my head~~I decide to go to bed. When I crawl into bed I hear David say, "Oooh! A guitar challenge!!". I fell asleep to the sounds of the Wii guitar strumming...

This morning David said he was totally rocking it out. "I even kicked my leg!".

Oh. Um, that's great, Honey.

He went to bed at 4am after his concert. I don't think Slash is feeling up to playing tonight, though. He's too exhausted.

Movie Monday~~Dinner Guests

A tiny bit of back story. During dinner tonight, Reagan looked over at the counter and said, "That is an in-sell-a-toe-lor"...or something like that. And we had no idea what he was saying. There is nothing on the counter that could be anything remotely like what he had said. We finally asked, "What is it next to?" and he said, "The black cup." Well, next to the black cup was one of his straw cups~~just like the one you see in the video~~and some scotch tape. So we assumed he was naming his cups...I quickly picked up the camera because the names he was making up were outrageous.

Obviously we were laughing harder than he was. I think I was laughing more at how funny David thought the whole thing was. Here is some more video. Even the corn dogs got to get in on the action.

I am going to try and post a video every Monday for what will now be "Movie Monday". I started last week with this one. This is to give my brain a break from trying to write something witty/interesting/informing every stinkin' day of this year!
